An Ancient Existence Awakened by Entropy!
He said he was me in my past life; he was a king who wielded the blade of rebellion.
He was born in a magical era, a world that had long been broken and even obliterated for an unknown period of time.
It is a force called 'entropy' that awakens it from the forgotten world and retrieves it from the other side of nothingness.
He is like a fragmented message, or an ancient chapter worn away by time.
It states that entropy is a chaotic state that grows endlessly, and its existence can easily break the law of conservation of energy and matter.
To put it more simply, entropy can find things that have disappeared and bring them into the present world.
Or rather, it's possible to create something out of thin air.
But something went wrong, and an ancient consciousness that had been awakened was unable to appear in this world.
Perhaps his power was too great, exceeding the limits of the known world, so the world could not accept his existence.
Of course, it's also possible that Entropy was too arrogant, believing it could awaken that ancient god, but its power was simply insufficient.
Watching Ye Long turn and walk into the darkness, the white-haired man on the steps shifted his position. "Where are you going?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Long replied without turning his head, "That world is drawing me back; it's time for me to be reincarnated."
"It's a bit early."
Hearing the white-haired man's words, Ye Long was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"Your dragon body wasn't given to you by a magic potion, it was given to you by me. You can think of the magic potion as a form of energy, and I transformed that energy into a new shape," the white-haired man said.
"It seems you haven't yet experienced the power of the dragon's body."
"The reason why those immortal monsters you see are immortal is simply because they haven't encountered anything that can kill them."
"Nothing in the world is immortal, unless it was never in this world in the first place."
"And those so-called Old Ones, they are even less likely to be immortal."
Ye Long turned around and walked back. "So, my dragon body is immortal?"
The white-haired man shook his head. "Didn't I just say that nothing in this world is immortal?"
"But your dragon body is indeed not so easy to kill."
"The power called 'World Element' is constant with the world. As long as the world is immortal, it can give birth to a new dragon body."
The world is immortal?
Which world are you referring to?
"Limited to the Solar System only."
"Is the Solar System the world?"
"Only for you."
"The Solar System is your world; what lies outside the Solar System is not included in your world."
"In other words, if the Solar System doesn't perish, then I won't perish either?"
"Solar System is destroyed, I will die?"
"This is the wonder of the Heart of World Origin." The white-haired man said, while the black dragon beside him proudly puffed out its chest.
Ye Long was filled with awe. "Then when will I be able to come back to life?"
The white-haired man said, "It will take a long time."
"The more powerful the dragon's body, the slower the world will be repaired."
I see.
"I remember you mentioned the lifeline before. Is my lifeline broken now?"
The white-haired man nodded. "Yes, it's broken."
Ye Long looked at his current spiritual form with some confusion, "Then how come I didn't die?"
"How come you're not dead?" The white-haired man looked at him, puzzled.
"Aren't you already dead?"
"Resurrection after death and death are two different things and do not conflict with each other."
"Most deaths are physical and do not represent the annihilation of the soul."
"Of course, attacks that strike the soul are an exception."
"Is that so..." Ye Long pondered.
"But I have a question: why do I feel that my memory of you is a little blurry every time I see you, or rather, it's as if I've forgotten something?"
What did you do to me?
Faced with Ye Long's questioning, the white-haired man smiled calmly, "It's inevitable that the soul will suffer some damage after the body has died multiple times and left the body several times."
Although what he said made a lot of sense, Ye Long still felt that something was not right.
Every time he met this person who claimed to be his past life, his spirit and consciousness would undergo subtle changes upon his return.
At first, these things weren't obvious, but this time, Ye Long clearly felt that some of the emotions within him had faded.
Of course, his explanation could also account for this situation.
Just as it is natural to lose some memories and emotions when one's soul is damaged.
"Since there's still some time before my resurrection, why don't I tell you about yourself? I'm interested in hearing your story now."
"Ao Zuo".
From the very beginning, those voices referred to Ye Long in this way.
They all shouted "Ao Zuo" instead of "Ye Long".
That must be Ye Long's name in his previous life.
"People used to call me the Dragon Emperor."
"Then what?"
"I can't remember."
"Ah?"
Ye Long looked at Ao Zuo with a strange expression. It didn't seem like this guy couldn't remember, but just didn't want to talk about it.
After all, he had told Ye Long before that every time he saw Ye Long, it reminded him of a painful past.
So, is it because you can't bear to look back that you're unwilling to talk about it?
Seeing Ye Long's puzzled expression, Ao Zuo looked into the distance and said, "This is not something you should be concerned about. You just need to know that there are many ancient powerhouses awakened by entropy."
"Not only the world before annihilation, but also this world, and a world even older than the world before annihilation."
Ye Long sat cross-legged on the ground. "So what is His purpose? To keep awakening these so-called ancient beings to achieve the goal of increasing entropy?"
"No."
"Its goal is very clear; it's for one thing."
What is it?
"I don't know, but it must be related to Death," Ao Zuo said.
"Just like how you were born on Earth, it wasn't predetermined. It was because it knew that something was here, so it brought you here."
Ye Long asked, "What would happen if that so-called entropy got its hands on that thing?"
"Uncertain."
What can you be sure about?
"The only thing I'm sure of is that you need to be prepared to face 'entropy'."
"Why me?"
"Because you have been bound to the chariot of death, you drank the potion and accepted the change of that power."
"At the same time, this realm is bound to you. If Entropy wants to destroy the Solar System after obtaining that thing, you will have to fight it."
That makes sense, but...
"Since you were created by entropy, can't entropy control you? Or rather, can't entropy control us?"
Ao Zuo shook his head. "The power of entropy is itself an unstoppable growth of chaos. It cannot control the beings it awakens, but some of those awakened are willing to obey its commands."
"Why?"
"In order to fulfill the Supreme Directive."
"Every being he awakened carries this message in their mind."
"It's the same as when you drink a magic potion, and a sense of awe and fear of the Creator arises in your mind."
What is the Supreme Directive?
"It means destroying everything."
What's the point of doing this?
"To shatter the chaotic old world and create a new world with perfect order."
"Then why don't you join them in creating a new world?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because whether it's the old world or the new world, they're all the same."
